ITV effectively axes Dancing On Ice, confirming that there are no current plans to commission a new series.

ITV has effectively axed Dancing On Ice, confirming that the show will not be returning in 2026.

The celebrity competition has been cancelled once before, having initially aired from 2006 to 2014 but it was revived in 2018 and has run for 17 series in total.

Prior to this month's final - won by Coronation Street star Sam Aston - there were rumours that ITV was planning to pull the plug amid low ratings and now the broadcaster has confirmed those reports.

An ITV spokesperson said: "Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice."

For the last two series, Holly Willoughby had been joined in hosting duties by Stephen Mulhern after Phillip Schofield was forced to step down in 2023.
